Bowie County Judge Sterling Lacy is advising residents to avoid burning outdoors. The National Weather Service has stated that weather conditions including high winds and low humidity result in extremely critical fire conditions. Due to extreme drought conditions across the area an increase in the number of wildfires has been recently reported.

Fires can get out of control very quickly, therefore, extreme cautions should be observed. Fires should never be left unattended and a reliable water supply should be very close by. Outdoor burning should never be attempted in windy conditions. Judge Lacy says if the dry and windy weather conditions persist or worsen, an outdoor burn ban may be issued for the entire county.
